4.75

Liz is very much insufferable, but I was able to handle it through like 75% of the book because the divide between how insufferable and how relateable she was, was pretty even. UNTIL WE GET TO THE LAST 25%. God. Liz got so awful so quickly, it took me a solid week to read the last 25% of this book because of it(For context that last 25% was 69 pages, I WAS STRUGGELING). But because I loved the rest of the book and the last 20 pages made up for it, it gets a 4.75 stars.
